This is a one of a kind experience around the mid highlands of Iceland in the middle of winter. You really can´t get any closer to the northern lights. This will be a yoga and meditation retreat with a focus on nature and healthy and pure food. Only 20 spots available!

Schedule:FRIDAY
Arrive at Hveravellir, Soup and light meal on offer. When everyone has arrived we gather for presenting the retreat, short laughter yoga to shake the group together with evening meditation, and for those who like relaxing in the Hot Springs with the Northern Lights.

Focus on flow and continuation ~ use what we have learned.

Nested by the highland route Kjalvegur connecting the north and the south,between the two big glaciers Langjökull and Hofsjökull, Hveravellir Nature Reserve is one of the last great wilderness areas of Europe. It offers unique tranquility, one of the best hot springs of iceland and eternal beauty: www.hveravellir.is

Hveravellir Nature reserve is located in the middle of Iceland‘s highlands and during winter mostly isolated due to snow. Therefore you will need a bit more than normal 4X4 to get there. Something modified, 4X4 on extra large set of tires should do. We can help organize the transport for you if you don’t have one of those. If in doubt if your wheels will do or not don’t hesitate to ask.
